This code generates a CMPXCHG loop in order to implement atomic_fetch
bitwise operations. Because CMPXCHG is hard-coded to use rax (which
holds the BPF r0 value), it saves the _real_ r0 value into the
internal "ax" temporary register and restores it once the loop is
complete.
In the middle of the loop, the actual bitwise operation is performed
using src_reg. The bug occurs when src_reg is r0: as described above,
r0 has been clobbered and the real r0 value is in the ax register.
Therefore, perform this operation on the ax register instead, when
src_reg is r0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
